What book made you need to re-read it again because of the ending?
For me, it was the dark tower. The ending blew my mind, and I had to read the entire series again. Not only did I miss all the characters, the ending changed the entire story.
*The Malazan Book of the Fallen*. All ten books in the series are like that.
I read every book twice, then read the series again, then listened to the audiobooks. It took me the better part of a year, but what a year that was!
Also:
*The Lymond Chronicles*, by Dorothy Dunnett.
*Ender’s Game*, by Orson Scott Card.
*And then There Were None*, *Murder on the Orient Express*, and *The Murder of Roger Ackroyd*, by Agatha Christie.

I came here to say the same thing. Been on many trips to the tower at this point and each one is magical and you catch something new.

Doing my second trip to the tower right now. Just finished *Wizard and Glass* and am letting that marinate in my mind. I’m ecstatic to report that it holds up and perhaps my favorite novel of all time. I’ll be moving onto *Wolves of the Calla* in the next few days.
Otherwise I’m currently doing my fucking third read through of *Dungeon Crawler Carl* since discovering it less than 6 months ago. Goddamn is that series solid. Especially on audiobook.

I’m thinking about ending things by Ian Reed. I finished it and immediately turned back to the first page and read it again. The whole time you can tell something’s severely wrong, and you keep reading things that you know are hints, but you don’t have enough context yet to know exactly what it’s hinting at. It’s great foreshadowing and gives you a creeping sense of dread. When I read the final pages, I immediately had to start it again to put all the clues into context, and every reread since has felt like a further reveal.
